>  ==============================
>       
>The Other Israel, April 2003, issue 107/108, is out
>
>As the title suggests, much of this issue is devoted to the "Road 
>Map", and to the debate in the Israeli peace
>movement on how much - or little - can be expected of this 
>long-expected diplomatic document, and to the
>related issue of Abu-Mazen's Prime Minister. "A road map to nowhere" 
>is the title of Uri Avnery's article,  a
>conclusion disputed in Jeff Halper's  "the Road Map - potential & weaknesses".
>
>--The issue deals witth the conquest of Iraq - giving descriptions 
>of the demonstrations in Tel-Avi
>v and Haifa
>- the  modest Israeli contribution to the worldwide anti-war 
>movement - and analyses how the war im
>pacts our
>situation. --There is a discussion of what was widely feared to 
>happen under the smokescereen of th
>e war
>(large scale ehttnic cleansing - which the advance warnings may have 
>helped prevent) and what did h
>appen (wide
>extension of the so-called  "separation wall" effecively annexing 
>large parts of the West Bank and
>disposses
>hundreds of thousands of Palestinians). The beginnings of organised 
>protests by Israelis and Palest
>inans
>against what we call the Apartheid Wall are covered in this issue.
>
>The refusers of military service also have a big share of this 
>issue, with an analysis of how the h
>igh
>command came to regard a group of youngsters as a threat big enough 
>to occupy the time and energy o
>f
>two generals and to resort against them to mass court-martials 
>unprecedented in Israel's history.
>
>
>In addition, there are covered many peace activities: innovative 
>demonstrations, such as the Rave a
>gianst the
>Occupation near Sharon's farm in the Negev and the carnavalesque 
>Drummers' march in the streets of
>Tel-Aviv;
>various protests with Palestinians & food convoys to beleaguered 
>villages in the occupied territori
>es; the
>ongoing monitoring and reporting.
>
>Finally, some attention is paid to the interrelations between the 
>ongoing conflict and the deterior
>ation of
>the Israeli economy, and the economic austerity plan of Finance 
>Minster Netanyahu which provoked th
>e present
>general strike by the Israeli unions. (One of the side effects of 
>the disruption of postal ervices
>is that TOI
>issues might be delayed on their way).   
>
>The Other Israel is now in its 20th year. Right now, back issues are 
>being made accessible in a
>computerized web archive (issues since 1994 already available):
>http://www.israelipalestinianpeace.org/issues/opening.htm
>
>This is a collection of on the one hand detailed analysis of the 
>political developments - which, wh
>en put
>together are a quite complete historiography of two decades of the 
>Israeli-Palestinian conflict; an
>d on the
>other hand action reports giving a vivid picture of a broad variety 
>of peace groups.
